The Kazuya Mishima Thread

Just a quick question. Is it safe to raw tag in after Kaz’s QCF P?

No they can quick stand.

We need a dedicated match up thread really. Im decent so far, doing ok, paired our boy with ryu an they’re real solid despite the lack of combo synergy.

So what matchups are people struggling with? Good julias lock me down an make me afraid to press buttons. Heihachi can be a real pain. Rolentos. Damn the list goes on.

I kno it’s early days, hope we get more match footage tho

What are some basic baits and tricks for Kaz?

meaty wgf/ewgf on an opps wake up to make reversals whiff.

meaty cr mp, if they back dash, os sweep seems to work on a few character’s backdash, didnt test on all the cast yet lol

Thank u!

Any matchup tips for Juri? This woman drives me nuts.

I would also love some tips against Juri. Her Crossups are driving me mad.

In other news. I really love Back FK now that I am starting to get the safe distance.
Get them in the corner. Yep that is overhead. No you can´t jump. Oh you tried to punish? Here have another one.
My friends don´t like it as much as I do XD
Not quite the hate they have for Sakuras c.hp but is is getting there.

lol back high kick aka “THIS IS SPARTA”

I hate fighting Juri too, but there are a few things that u have to keep in mind:

-u have a faster walk speed than her, the problem is her jump roundhouse/divekick owns ure sad cr fierce. Best thing to do is to be outside her jump ranges and make her block cr lks (imo one of the, if not the best cr lk in the game). Do resort to jump back fierce/rh as an aa, its much more reliable vs crossups/divekick attempts than cr fierce. In fact, if shes harrassing u with dive kicks in the corner, a simple jump back ala sf4, will make the move totally whiff and give u a deadly jump in combo on her.
-dont test her aa
-she is at -3 on dive kicks and pinwheel (if im not mistaken). now u dont have a 3 frame move, but u can still press buttons before she does (preferably cr lk, cr jab wont reach most times/max range dive kicks).
-she controls the air, even if shes jumping back. I cant tell u how many times my friend is jumping backwards, i jump to hit him and i eat a dive kick (which btw i saw beat a deep TIGER UPPERCUT clean, so stupid, but it is what it is).
-if u knock her down, she is fucked, her reversal options are pretty bad, and imo kazuya has the 2nd best oki in the game, after rufus (but his is derpy, ures is classy).

I don’t agree. Frame 1 counter is ridiculous and if you predict it and go for a throw you’re not really getting much out of it.

Hey what do you guys feel are kazuya’s strengths and weaknesses?

+Damage
+Great Oki
+Good ground normals for footsies

-Bad anti airs
-Risky reversal options
-Can be zoned out relatively easy

*Execution required to unlock true potential

What’s the easiest way to do the mist step with the controller??

A d-pad usually auto inputs the neutral for you when you move from f to d, so it’s less awkward that way. Crouchdashing in Tekken on pad was very much like a standard DP motion in SF. You need a bit more emphasis on the neutral in this game because of the way the game handles inputs. DP motion on less than max input speed should give Mist Step.

Easiest way is f,QCF.

You can wavedash easily by spamming QCF. This did not work in Tekken.

What do I do against rufus? I cant tell if I will get crossed up - ever and I dont know how to stop his pressure.

I think if you’re crouching you’ll get crossed up and if standing you wont.

Ugh. Zangief Matchup advice anyone?

b.hk works good in a poke war and knocks down/crumple on counterhit. Other than that I have a horrible time keeping him out.

So this might be a general issue, but why can Cammy spam jab in my face?

because its a 3 framer and +3 on block, no choice but to respect it up close

Either that or just cross cancel it when you know that the jab is coming and you’re in the middle of its hit stun (granted that the hit stun duration is small).

Super nooby question. Can you combo into EX Demon God Fist? blush
